When to Replace Your Water Heater & Why Mesa Plumbing Is Arizona’s Top Choice for Residential Plumbing Service

|

Common Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater

Most water heaters last 8–12 years, but Arizona’s hard water and extreme summer temperatures can reduce that lifespan. Watch for these signs:

  • Inconsistent hot water

  • Rust-colored water

  • Unusual rumbling or banging sounds

  • Visible leaks or corrosion

  • Hot water runs out quickly

  • Increased energy bills

If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing any of these issues, replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs.

Water Heater Maintenance Tips from Our Experts

Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and improve performance. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Flush your tank annually – This removes sediment buildup and helps prevent corrosion.

  • Check the anode rod – Replace it every 3–5 years to protect the tank from rust.

  • Test the temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve – This safety feature should be inspected at least once a year.

  • Set the thermostat to 120°F – This ensures safety, energy efficiency, and comfort.

  • Install a water softener – Arizona’s hard water is a major cause of premature water heater failure.

If you’re not comfortable performing these tasks, our Mesa Plumbing team can handle your annual maintenance during a quick in-home visit.

How to Choose the Right Water Heater for Your Arizona Home

When shopping for a new water heater, consider:

  1. Family Size – A 40-gallon tank is good for 2–3 people; larger families may need 50+ gallons or tankless systems.

  2. Fuel Type – Gas water heaters are common in Arizona, but electric options are available for homes without gas lines.

  3. Efficiency Ratings – High-efficiency models save money over time, especially with Arizona’s high energy costs.

  4. Warranty – Look for products with long-term warranties (6–12 years).

  5. Installation Costs – Mesa Plumbing offers competitive pricing with no surprise fees.
